Each player loses 1 life, discards a card, sacrifices a creature of their choice, then sacrifices a land of their choice.
Take away a few things, and a rebellion may ensue. Take away everything, and the oppression will be accepted as fate.

Where it came from
Smallpox was originally released in the 2006 set Time Spiral, designed by Brian Tinsman and the Wizards of the Coast development team. The card was conceived as a high-variance, symmetrical effect that captured the flavor of a plague sweeping across the battlefield, forcing both players to discard cards, sacrifice creatures, and lose life. It quickly became a staple in niche strategy formats, particularly those focusing on resource denial and graveyard interaction.
This specific iteration, numbered 61, was featured in the 2016 Duel Decks: Nissa vs. Ob Nixilis release. The art was updated for this set to reflect the thematic conflict between the green-aligned planeswalker Nissa Revane and the demonic Ob Nixilis. The card's inclusion served to highlight the darker, destructive capabilities of the black-aligned deck, providing a strategic tool that fit the mechanically aggressive identity of the Ob Nixilis archetype.
